Additionally, package.json registers a `bin` entry named `node` mapped to shim.js. Under package managers that resolve `node` from node_modules/.bin (notably bun), any dependency postinstall that invokes `node` will execute this shim instead of the real Node.js runtime; the declared dependency protoc-gen-grpc-web is used as the trigger. The combined effect is arbitrary command execution on the installer at install time, both directly via the package's own postinstall and indirectly by hijacking the `node` command for sibling dependencies' install scripts. The Calculator launch and browser navigation are a proof-of-concept payload; the underlying execution primitive is fully attacker-controlled.

All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
